If nothing else, it seems very unlikely that a post from a random account with no followers or posts would go instantly mega viral without some early boosting from bigger accounts. Network effects.

For what it's worth, this theoretical LLM-based compiler would probably generate LLVM or some other intermediate representation rather than platform-specific machine code.

> attention span IME waiting for an agent to work through a problem is a detriment to attention span; your mind drifts to other things while you wait. Maybe you can steer several agents in a round robin instead, but then there's a c

Right, but that's not the same thing as reporting a benchmark across a test set. It doesn't help me determine how well the model does across a decently-large sample size of commands. It doesn't tell me with what reliability t

False positives are definitely relevant and worth measuring - natural language interfaces always have a discoverability problem, i.e., users not knowing what actions the system does and does not support. If the frontend of that system lacks

Great release! It's awesome that they trained smaller models. With some effort I was able to get them running on my generative sampler/groovebox project this morning (shameless plug: https://engram.audio ) Also apprecia

The industry has pushed socially disruptive technologies in several waves (mobile phones, algorithmic social media, short-form content) with seemingly no buy-in from the greater public, nor any meaningful consequences for the ills imposed.

Extremely bad stuff here. Can't believe it's been 7 hours now and you can still pull up people's complete prepared tax returns right from a Google search. This should be a business-ending breach of trust and good practices, b

Some of that is probably because students at elite universities come from families who understand exactly how to navigate meritocratic systems. Parents who know you need a tutor to ace the ACT and an essay editor to polish your application

The LLM is not the slot machine. The LLM is the lever of the slot machine, and the slot machine itself is capitalism. Pull the lever, see if it generates a marketable product or moment of virality, get rich if you hit the jackpot. If not, p

Dishonesty layered on dishonesty, marketed with an arrogant smirk on top. I feel like tech culture has fully internalized the ethos of "no attention is bad attention", so having a lack of scruples and a talent for rage baiting is

What a beautiful and charming project. Kudos for taking it all the way from zero to one with such a polished design. That's no small feat. I've built prototypes for eurorack and even with some simplifying constraints it's a l

Awesome write-up - especially the fact that you've gotten it working with good performance locally. It certainly requires a little bit more hardware than your typical home assistant, but I think this will change over time :) I've

Thanks! That is part of the challenge as this idea scales imo - once you've increased the number of plugins or "levers" available to the model, you start to increase the likelihood that it will pull some of them indiscriminat

It certainly makes logical sense. I think if you have the ability to control the light in the first place via an API, it's probably an LED smart bulb and thus doesn't produce much heat. At least, I'm not aware of any incandes
